This theme connects to the book because Helmuth was a traitor and was constantly worried if someone would find out the crimes he was committing and if someone would report him to the Gestapo or the Nazis. ]]> 2023-01-17 17:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2447246115 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2447266865 “Brother Worbs looks fearful… ‘To warm them up,’ he says. ‘Broke all my fingers’ ” (Bartoletti 133). In this quote, Brother Worbs shares what happened to him with the Nazis. This relates to the theme of not knowing who is a traitor and who will find out because Brother Worbs can be seen as an example of such because he was a traitor and a Nazis arrested him. ]]> 2023-01-17 18:01:27 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2447266865 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2447267164 “Outside the flat, on the street, Helmuth watches as Karl and Rudi head down the street. The sky looks like gray wool, and that’s a good thing. The cloud cover will keep British bombers away. Helmuth heads in the opposite direction, down Luisenweg, leaflets tucked underneath his shirt” (Bartoletti 127). This quote shows how no one would ever know who committed a crime or who would report that they did such. Helmuth was committing a crime and he was afraid about Karl and Rudi being able to report him to the Nazis about what he was doing at such a time. ]]> 2023-01-17 18:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2447267164 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2447267360 “Müssner looks at Helmuth, and when he speaks, his words sound underwater, too… ‘Have you anything to say?’ ” (Bartoletti 144-145). This quote shows how traitors can be anywhere because Düwer wanted to report Helmuth to the Gestapo, and first he acted like he would help him, but he betrayed Helmuth and told the Gestapo about what he did. Düwer was a traitor all along, but he hid so well that Helmuth couldn't tell.  ]]> 2023-01-17 18:01:49 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2447267360 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2448669569 The character Helmuth Hübener connects to the theme of traitors being able to hide anywhere because he was constantly breaking the German law and feared that someone would find out that he was listening to the radio Gerhard brought home and if someone found out that he wrote the fliers and brochures.  Helmuth was constantly aware of what he was doing and was extremely careful about how he executed whatever he planned to. He shared his information about the radio with coworkers, and his friends Karl and Rudi. One of his coworkers eventually reported Helmuth to the Nazis. Helmuth basically couldn’t trust anyone because of the fear of others finding out about his secret. ]]> 2023-01-18 17:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2448669569 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2448689494 2023-01-18 17:20:34 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2448689494 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2449010988 2023-01-18 21:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2449010988 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2449021965 2023-01-18 21:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2449021965 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2450116484 2023-01-19 17:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2450116484 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2450175665 The Extraordinary Radio Law was a law that forbid Germans in Germany to listen to any other radio channels other that the ones that were Nazi approved. This historical event relates to the theme of traitors because Helmuth listened to the Radio Gerhard brought home, breaking the German law. Although he was very careful and precise when he was listening to the Radio, he was still breaking the law. ]]> 2023-01-19 18:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2450175665 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2450187131 Kristallnacht was a time where Germans were harshly ruining Jewish businesses and buildings. This event was scarcely portrayed in the book, but we can see that Kristallnacht obviously occurred when Hugo went out of the house at night and into Hamburg with his “Nazi friends” to break the glass of Jewish buildings and raid them. This historical event connects to the theme of traitors because it was possible that there were traitors who were betraying the Fatherland and Hitler by trying to protect the Jewish businesses from destruction or taking Jews into their home to protect them. There were many betrayers of Hitler during the time of Kristallnacht. ]]> 2023-01-19 18:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2450187131 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2451316537 Reichstag was a Parliament building in Berlin that was set on fire after Hitler became Chancellor. This historical event links to the theme because there were so many people during times of arson and war that tried to help the victims of these acts, and we can see Helmuth trying to help others to get on his side and to become safe. ]]> 2023-01-20 16:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2451316537 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2451606322 The character Düwer plays a huge role in the theme because he was a traitor to Helmuth. Düwer was a colleague of Helmuth. Helmuth is friend with him and they both agree on how horrible the Nazis are and talk often. Helmuth starts making fliers and brochures, spreading them to everybody and getting more people to help him, but that just gives Düwer a perfect pathway to report him to the Gestapo, getting Helmuth, Karl, and Rudi in trouble. Düwer is considered a traitor because he betrayed Helmuth and got him involved with the German government. He hid from Helmuth and never told him directly, but he revealed himself while ratting out Helmuth.]]> 2023-01-20 22:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2451606322 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2451640016 Karl connects to the theme of traitors hiding anywhere and the fear that Helmuth and Karl had to go through about anyone finding out that they were the ones who were spreading the brochures was overflowing. Karl was trying to help Helmuth in any way possible because he agreed with Helmuth, but Helmuth was scared that Karl was a traitor to him and Karl must have been scared that he was a traitor to his country. ]]> 2023-01-21 00:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2451640016 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2452063141 Bartoletti uses flash back in The Boy Who Dared by telling the most important parts of Helmuth’s life and shows Helmuth growing up. She shows how Helmuth and everyone he knew thought about Hitler and showed how most of their opinions changed, or stayed strong. I think Bartoletti chose this format because she wanted to add more depth to the story by starting the book with a child’s point of view. I think she also chose to use flashbacks and to use the present tense because she wanted the reader too be more engaged and suspenseful and the words in the present almost set back the reader and caused them to think about how a small, lovable, loyal child could go to jail. I think that this method was successful and she executed it well by changing the tense frequently but not sharing too much information.  ]]> 2023-01-21 21:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2452063141 fuchse1_2 https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2452081878 Strassburger’s story relates to the theme because at a young age, she was forced to become Catholic to hide her Jewish religion from the Nazis. She was a traitor to her religion when she stated that she did not want to be Jewish after she was told she was not really Catholic. She was young and didn’t really understand what was happening, so she was considered a traitor to her religion. ]]> 2023-01-21 22:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/fuchse1_2/3yd4d2nej35q0hkb/wish/2452081878
